Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn) is a hospital-acquired pathogen of critical importance due to extensive resistance to last-resort antibiotics like carbapenems and colistin. The emergence of hypervirulence and its convergence with antibiotic resistance in some Kpn lineages is a public health threat. Understanding the regional prevalence of different lineages of Kpn and their resistomes and virulomes, in...
